film: Paycheck

*sigh*

Paycheck has just opened over here, and being a big PKD fan, I came here to see if anyone had an opinion on it.

Uniformly bad, huh?

Oh well. I'll probably still go. Odd choice of a story to film, but whatever. From memory the dialogue in the story isn't great either, but then you don't read Dick for the dialogue.

i beg to differ. ben affleck has never been in anything worth watching.


i've asked this so many times now in response to the above kind of statement, but, have you seen chasing amy? even some people who might not normally like kevin smith films seem to enjoy this, as it's got some quite intelligent and insightful themes running through it. and yes, affleck is quite good in it :)
 
I watched this on cable last night. I think the shitty action scenes killed this movie. oh yeah and the plot.
building a machine that looks into the future, to me is a bit far-fetched. :\

its not that far fetched, read pkd's story, if they can have pre-cogs in " minority report" why cant we have the same concept in paycheck ? that said, most pkd doesnt translate to the big screen, i wasnt even a fan of bladerunner, imposter was ok, minority was above average, i have big hopes for " a scanner darkly" cos im a massive linklater fan

for the record i actually liked this movie,maybe thats cos i wasnt being a movie nerd and looking at the dialouge, im more interetsted in the concepts of the story, which fascinated me, i pity the day you have to say you hate a movie cos its fashionable 8(
